1st letter from the MTC 2/11/16

Isaac entered the MTC on a Wednesday and his "P Day" (preparation day - used for things like laundry, shopping and letter writing) happened to fall on Thursday.  P Day is the one day of the week when Isaac has time to email us.  Here is his email after one day in the MTC.

Mom

Let Isaac know i love him, if you catch wind of rem give him a hug. let everyone know that it is totally legal to send letters on any day i will try to respond on Thursday to who i can.
